Calder Houses

The Calder Houses, built in 1868 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, are historic twin cottages designed by Charles Calder, a prominent real estate figure who moved from New York. These two-story brick structures, resting on stone foundations, are among the oldest in the city and showcase the architectural style of their time.
